    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    For us the compass was too noisy for us and dangerous on turns. But I think most trikes are iffy on turns, you have to be careful. On the good side, it seemed very good quality and evelo customer service and communication was top notch. The pedigo tandem doesnt have any trouble on turns. If...

    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    If you mean tandem bike, we ended up with a Pedego Tandem, and my wife and I love it. If you are referring to the electric trike, we went with the evelo compass but we returned it after a week of trial. If you have any questions about you either let me know

    2021 LAFREE E+

    Fair amount where I am -- we only found one hill that the bike just couldn't really assist with, at lowest gear, we were able to make it on our own without much assist., an ultra steep ultra long one. but normally this bike just eats normal hills like a champ. In fact my son said the bike almost...

    Giant AUTO Mode: A No Go

    Would love to try one! But for sure I'd still go with the Lafree, because that Moro Pro appears to be twice the cost. I also really like the look of the lafree , I've bonded quite well with this model and will be bummed if I ever have to upgrade and they've stopped making bikes with batteries...

    Pedego Tandem

    I will be posting some pictures soon. I read a lot about tandems on here before we decided to go for it, including the bit about turning, so we took things easy at first. I was confused about tandem cadence and why it was so hard to find a mid drive torque version as opposed to rear...

    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    We ended up ordering the EVELO Compass. The plan was for my wife to have the e-trike (because she has balance issues) and myself an e-bike. We ended up returning the bike as it didn't fit our needs and we got a PEDEGO tandem cruiser bike instead, and we LOVE IT !! As far as the Compass: the bike...

    Giant AUTO Mode: A No Go

    Another way to look at it is (from what I remember) not many other manufacturers even have an auto mode at all. (I test rode about 10 different bikes from various manufacturers and dont remember it on any of them) I find the auto mode quite pleasant and have to admit it was a main point of...

    Pedego Tandem

    Just wanted to post that my wife and I are LOVING the Pedego tandem cruiser. We bought a nice rear storage with fold out paniers and take it on our grocery runs rather than the car these days. Didn't think I would like a tandem but I'm actually loving it.

    Giant AUTO Mode: A No Go

    I haven't installed it yet but my bike shop sales people showed it to me and said I could adjust each level of assist which (they said) would in turn, affect how auto mode applies each level of assist. Take a look at the app screenshots at this web page...

    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    I am looking for upright cruiser type trike. . I'm fascinated with this noslisu, which isnt a classic cruiser style yet upright and able to lean, wow! but looks like it's not in production yet? I'm assuming we dont know its range ?

    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    Does Specialized make an etrike? I was hoping to find some advice on some quality trikes but through painful research on my own we finally decided on the evelo compass. We have two ebikes but we needed a trike for my wife.

    2021 LAFREE E+

    When I first started the quest to find an e-bike, it seemed logical to me to have the lights integrated. However, now I'm glad it did NOT come with integrated lights. Mostly because the amount of power/lumens you really want for your light(s) for safety would eat into the bike's range. I got...

    2021 LAFREE E+

    Took ours on 34 mile round trip on AUTO mode the entire trip. Elevation total elevation changes - 414 feet. (x2) We were at one bar left (out of 5) when we finally rolled back in. Took only one bar to get to destination 17 miles away, then 3 bars to get back. So, pretty easy to see which half of...

    Belt or chain!?

    In the case of the Giant LaFree (now "momentum") they had a belt drive 2020 model (e+1) -- but for 2021 they only offer the chain. Why would this be? When I was shopping around for ebikes I was told by a bike shop guy that belt driven bikes can be harder going up steeper hills. I don't think...

    Has anyone purchased a U lock for the LaFree, curious what length works best with this model to wrap around frame as well as one of the wheels.

    This is great information! I'm surprised you didn't get any response-- did you end up getting any of these locks? What did you end up going with?

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    May I ask, how you lock up your Evelo Compass when you park it away from home? What kind of lock(s) you use and how do you orient them?
